We've all heard the cliche..keep your head up. The translation seems to mean that by looking up you stay positive and open yourself up to better experiences and expand your horizon to grab this fortune.
I've had a few experiences in the last day or so that for more logistical reasons have had me thinking again about keeping my head up.
Watching hockey over the last few weeks, Ive seen some ugly open ice hits. A guy trying to do too much with the puck gets absolutely run over in a clean hit (albeit a painful as shit looking one). What could this player have done different? "Keep your head up" so you can see the hit coming and make a move. Making a move can have a domino effect as the puck gets brought down the ice---maybe even leading to a goal?
My second experience was this morning when I went out to my yard to see the landscaping coming to bloom. I'm fixated on the grass. We get patches of funny looking weeds maybe on the periphery of the lawn in an otherwise handsome looking lawn.
My wife thinks I'm nuts (as she should) cuz when she sits and sips her coffee from the patio she admires the green carpet with nice trees. I on the other hand have a compulsion that requires me to drink my coffee too quickly and seek out these pesky weeds. Hey...if I modelled my wife's behavior and sat and enjoyed the coffee and the backyard for what it is (our little muskoka in the city)...I'd actually be keeping my head up!
So, I'm going to work on keeping my head up.
Now, bringing this home to real estate. Many buyers have been feeling down about the market and multiple offers and inventory and the new rules, etc. Here's an idea. While your competition is getting roughed up (like an open ice hit they didn't see coming)...why don't you just keep your head up and keep going! (with the help of the right Agent)!!
Enjoy a much deserved nice day out there.
Cheers-
